Eighty years ago - on 5 March 1946 - Winston Churchill made what would be one of the most consequential speeches of the 20th century. Assessing post-war Europe claimed that "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent."

Professor Richard Toye and Dr. Warren Dockter assess the background to the speech, its political context and the messages of an address which Churchill actually called 'The Sinews of Peace'.
